Garden Fizz – A Sparkling British Tipple with Pearson’s Blush Cider
This Garden Fizz Cocktail tastes like a summer garden party in a glass, but without the awkward small talk or stepping in something suspicious on the lawn!
It’s refreshingly floral, subtly boozy, and just fizzy enough to keep your gossip perky.
The star of the show? Pearson’s Blush Cider, a delicate, fruity number that brings rosy apple charm to the affair without stealing the limelight. Think countryside elegance meets cheeky pink fizz.
Garden Fizz Cocktail Ingredients (Serves 1…but we both know you’ll be making another)
- 50ml elderflower liqueur (or cordial if you’re keeping things light)
- 25ml gin (go for something floral like Hendrick’s or anything you’ve hidden from your flatmate)
- Half a lemon, juiced
- Top up with Pearson’s Blush Cider
- Cucumber ribbons, for that spa-day energy
- Fresh mint sprig, slapped once (you’ll see why)
Method
- Fill a large wine glass or highball with ice. The kind that clinks impressively when you swirl it, not the stuff that’s half-melted next to the fish fingers.
- Add the elderflower liqueur, gin, and lemon juice. Give it a gentle stir. Don’t go shaking it like Bond, this one’s more tea-with-the-vicar than martini assassin.
- Top up with Pearson’s Blush Cider until your glass sings with tiny bubbles and soft blush tones.
- Garnish with a twist of cucumber ribbon and a mint sprig. (Pro tip: slap the mint against your hand to wake up the oils. No, seriously. It’s a thing.)
When to Drink A Garden Fizz Cocktail
Perfect for garden lounging, Sunday brunches, or any situation involving bunting. It’s also dangerously drinkable at barbecues, so perhaps label the “leaded” and “unleaded” jugs accordingly.
Whether you’re hosting a summer fête or just pretending your balcony is the Cotswolds, Garden Fizz brings a touch of English charm and a lot of fizz. Pearson’s Blush Cider delivers a refreshing twist to this floral, citrusy cooler, and it pairs beautifully with sunshine, gossip, and a questionable hat.
